In the first three parts of this technology update (here, here, and here), I described the technology I used for the Hoyle bibliography. The bibliographical descriptions are stored in XML and transformed by browsers into HTML using the transformation language XSL. Recent technology announcements have modified my approach slightly.
Major browsers, Chrome, Firefox, and Safari have announced or are considering plans to abandon native XSL support. So I will no longer be able to upload files in XML format and have them display properly on the web. The good news is that I am able to use my XML authoring tool (oXygen) to transform the XML to HTML using my current XSL. Then I can upload the HTML files to my website.
That work is done. The bibliography is up and running in HTML format here.
I have configured my web server to redirect any requests for XML files to the corresponding HTML files, so users should not be impacted at all.
